So now it starts!

Catie and I got our point person from Deitch, the lovely Terese, and we are off and running!

And we have this new expanded project description:

The World’s largest Mud Pie created from Street Trash
Meg Duguid and Catie Olson

For the Art Parade we are making the World’s largest Mud Pie created from street trash and mud. We will collect trash from all of the other projects/ floats and also what parade-viewers leave behind. Coming last in the lineup, we will act as the cleanup chefs in the parade. A Pie helper will be pulling a double-wide red wagon with a giant pie tin on top, while we use large-scale cooking utensils to sweep up the trash that came from projects before us and then mixing it into a the worlds largest mud pie. This pie has been submitted to the Guinness book of world records for the title of World’s largest Mud Pie created from street trash. We are awaiting Guinness’ response, but have been made aware that it could take up to 6 months to set up the arrangements. We see this as a practice event leading up to the title. At the end of the parade the pie is to be weighed and measured.
